Microsoft revealed the date this week when it plans to start collecting on its bets. As of October 26--the official release date for Windows 8--all the cards will be on the table, and we will see if the gamble will pay off or not.......

Any thoughts on it.

My husband has it on his computer and most impressed with it. Spend $40 and you have a genuine windows 8.

I switched over this afternoon. I don't have a touch screen. It doesn't appeal to me I like to relax in my chair with the mouse. My husband installed windows 8 for me and I have no complaints.

The print is so much clearer. A couple of things are different which are easy to pick up. In October I will pay the $40 and it will be legitimate. I heard about this offer from cloud eight. They send out emails and often have good advice and free programmes that they recommend.
